Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Fairly difficult. There’s a lot of hills around, sidewalks aren’t consistent, buildings don’t have ADA-equivalent requirements, housing has stairs throughout (rare to find a one level house). - Aug 2019
It could be difficult at times. There are more ramps appearing, but most buildings do require climbing stairs. Sometimes sidewalks just end. There are specified parking spots and locals seem to accommodate as much as they can. - May 2018
Handicapped parking spaces are rare, if any. Many buildings are not accessible. - Mar 2013
many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Nov 2011
A lot!Some of the larger supermarkets have handicapped parking, but it is very difficult to get around. Narrow, rough roads, no sidewalks. - Jun 2011
There is an active disability rights organization that works well with local government, and disability rights are generally protected. However, infrastructure is not what it is in the U.S. and someone with physical disabilities may have issues with local sidewalks (or lack thereof), use of local transportation and even access to some buildings. - Dec 2010
Not sure, but the island is not all that disability-friendly. - Feb 2010
No sidewalks, streets are narrow and you have to battle the cars coming at you. - Jan 2009
